There's a post been going around for years, probably more than a decade, that the reason the Vault Boy mascot is holding his thumb up is because you can use it to measure how close you are to a nuclear detonation. If the mushroom cloud is smaller than your thumb, you have time to get to one of Vault-Tec's premium Vaults. If it's bigger, you may as well not bother to run.

Like I said, I don't know if this is actual advice the used to give back during the Cold War. And if it is, I don't know that the devs actually knew it and decided to have Vault Boy do that.

Huh. Definitely sounds plausible. Be a neat little piece of trivia if it's true; the kind of cheeky humor Fallout does.
